Britain’s top 10 property price growth hotspots revealed

The Orkney Islands off Scotland's north-east coast experienced the most improved property price growth last year, rising by 18.2% to £147,000 (compared to the average 5.2% rise in UK house prices last year).

For the average house price of £147,000, could buy you a picturesque two-bedroom house with sea and farmland views in Orkney.

The data also shows that Scotland leads the UK with an annual increase of 7.70% in property values over 2017.

Lowest annual growth

At the other end of the scale, the worst improved districts included Kensington and Chelsea, where prices decreased by -10.7% to £1.2m on average. The London borough still has the highest average house prices, however.

Good service in renewing the insurance.

Mr Marc Wiese

I had a difficult insurance requirement as I was looking to insure a property that was going to be occupied by the sellers for 4 months between exchange and completion. Sue was tremendously helpful, finding me quotes and callibg me back multiple times to check over everything. She is an absolute credit to the business.
